Happy Monday Dotties! How can we be on the cusp of Autumn already! Let’s soak up the warmth of the sun, the bright colours, sounds and smells of summer while we can. Those last cocktails enjoying the dusk as it falls, seem extra special knowing that crisp nights are ahead of us.

Our wonderful vendors in our Polka Dot Directory  and our Honeymoon Directory are just as keen as ever, and would love to work with you and offer you their support and expertise. Choose from Stationery and Venues.  We also have Suits & Tailors, Styling & Hire and Cakes, and check out our Honeymoon Directory – for services in Australia and overseas.

Bringing the joy of flowers into your life is Prim Petal Co. And how can we not feel joy as we marvel at their colours, the delicate petals, their different shapes and the impact they create when arranged with skill and an experienced eye for detail. With suggestions for in season flowers, colour palettes or styling accents to suit your taste, Renee has a wealth of knowledge that helps her bring your ideas to life and will have you in awe of the final result.

Choosing to use local Australian grown flowers, no floral foam and reusing vases and structures help to increase the sustainability of her creations and reduce the footprint of your wedding day too. Flowers are the full stop in your wedding styling – they add natural energy to the decor, the wow factor and the final touch of magic that make your wedding spaces as unique as you are.

We asked Renee of Prim Petal Co. what she loves about her profession:

Weddings are the best to work on because….

There’s an energy to them that you don’t get anywhere else!

What is something people would be surprised to know about your job or something that challenges you about your job?

Florists often get up at 2.30 am to get your wedding flowers from the markets!

What is it about the creative process that you most enjoy?

Problem solving. I love making something then revisiting it with fresh eyes, what’s working, what’s not and refining and solving any issues.

What are you hilariously bad at?

Reflexing roses, I haven’t got the patience for it, it’s my floristry kryptonite!

When you were small what did you dream of being and where have those dreams taken you?

I always been creative, art, crafts, writing and growing up I wanted to be a journalist, I ended up in events & marketing so kind of related, but not! I’ve always had a love for the gardens and the great outdoors so wedding flowers became a melding of my events background with my love of nature, it’s a great mix!
